small engine shed

[Tel2010]

Hi All

Here's my latest build.

Its a bashed kit of small engine shed ,a Scalescene freebee which came in last three issues of Hornby magazine.

 

I wanted a small shed in stone with out water tank as i already have one for the layout.So what i did was copy the pitched end, re cover walls in randon ashlar from a scalescene sheet and use roof from small terrace house kit.also added extra roof truss and altered one of the smoke hoods.

 

All in all think it came out ok. Pehaps John could offer the option of with / without water tank when kit is released further down the line.I was sorely tempted to build it with the tank but like i mentioned earlier already have one on this layout.Got it for future use though

What a wonderfully evocative model. Definately full of charm.

 

It took me straight to the Cromford & High Peak workshops at Cromford, down by the canal.
